Haha~ this post came sooner than i thought.. But anw i'm in my school's COM LAB now..E-test coming up in...........2 hours 25 mins.. haha~ So decided to blog while i choose the material to print for my open book E-test later... Ok..for those who totally have no idea what i'm talking about..
E-test is basically like a mid term test for my EE2009 Signals module with 10 MCQs.. And if u google for it..u're bound to see some blogs talking about it...and the words that ppl often use to describe it are: "Legendary", "Fail", "No point". Haha i'm not lying..it seems that its not so much of an open book test.. rather, it is a test that tests u on ur concepts about engineering..
Even the lecturer says.."Its ok to fail. The average is usually 2 - 3 marks". Thanks for the advice Dr. Ko! (Who happens to be a super hilarious professor whose lecture i enjoy immensely.. and thats no sarcasm) He always has his own set of weird but practical philosophies.. like recently he said "U dont need to know everything to do something! You all learn about the electron?? *pause* But has anyone even seen it anot??" Haha..if u think about it..it totally makes sense..
And then he always say "Life is complicated!" and "We're lazy!" and thats when he will cancel out something from the book and say "Not tested! No point! Too Difficult!" haha~ how cool is that?? A professor that takes out things that are no point!! And if u think about it..we've indeed learnt alot of things that are NO POINT! Think about those experiments u've done before in school...did it REALLY help u in ur studies now? KCL, CuSO4...haha i dont use that in programming definitely..
Anw..u get my point..haha..
So i really enjoy his lessons and i think he's one of the best lecturers i've seen in NUS! Practical and teaches only the things that are useful in LIFE, and not just anything in the syllabus...
kinda remind me of Jean Lee in AJC though..haha..she also takes out those things that are useless to know..haha i like this kind of teachers :D
Ok side tracked alot! Back to the E-test..
So like i said..its testing our concepts and seemed like it has nothing to do with the textbook... Like one of my friend(Dom) told me: "I searched one of the questions and its a question from a year 4 ADVANCED Signal module of some university..." Wow.. it sure is legendary..
Hmm let me give u an idea of what the test is like... (Based on the examples he used in the lecture..) Try to answer these questions.. And see if u can even get these 2 "simple" questions right...
Btw they are not exactly the same as what he really asked cause i cant rmb the exact words..but its the same concept and idea and question type...
1) An aircon operates at 10H.P (Horse Power). What is the power consumption?
a) 10 Horse Power b) 10W c) 0W d) Dont know
2) If u switch on the power from an outlet and put your fingers into the holes (One finger in each). Would you die?
a) Yes b) No c) More energetic d) Depends
Haha...try them and tag on my tag-board your answers...and when i see enough answers i'll post the answer he gave us together with my next post..hahaha~ I think its quite funny...
Ok then..:) Gotta go print some notes..wish me luck for the super-tricky-and-no-need-for-textbook E-Test! Hope to get full marks!! LOL!!!
